Mark Twain’s The Diaries of Adam and Eve

The Diaries of Adam and Eve Audition Form

Thank you for your interest in “Mark Twain’s The Diaries of Adam and Eve” presented by Theatre Bristol.

Auditions are by appointment at Theatre Bristol, 506 State Street, Bristol, TN 37620. Call backs are as needed.

Please fill out the audition form.

There are two roles, a man and a woman, but we will potentially have more than one cast as we will have a number of performances. Performances will run in February and then periodically during the year. Auditions, rehearsals, and performances are held at 506 State Street, Bristol, TN, 37620, USA.

We’re glad to answer more questions about how the process works and thank you for taking the time to share your interest and experience.

Theatre Bristol COVID-19 Policy

Your safety is our priority. As a non-profit organization that receives a state project grant each year, we are unable to require vaccinations and masks. However, Theatre Bristol encourages vaccines and boosters.

Performers speak and sing in close proximity for extended periods of time. In order to keep the cast and crew healthy and make sure our production gets to the stage, vaccination is encouraged. Although the cast being exposed to COVID-19 is inevitable, vaccination and boosters are proven to reduce the risk, severity, and length of being infected.

Theatre Bristol devotes a great deal of time, energy, and money to each production and requests that our volunteers support that effort by being vaccinated, boosted, and taking care of themselves during the rehearsal process.

Theatre Bristol cannot be held responsible for exposure to COVID-19.

This policy is updated as more information becomes available.

If, at any point, the Theatre Bristol Board of Directors determines that it is not prudent to proceed with the production, the show will be cancelled.
